I think everyone is missing the real reason for this. From TFA:

> requires fewer workers

what TFA didn't say, and which I'm sure is also true, is that the workers can also be less skilled.

I found it fascinating that interior walls are also concrete, and wifi signals are blocked. I betcha cellular doesn't fare too well either, and not easily fixed with multiple access points.

I don’t care how many workers it takes if the result still costs $600k.

Unless the houses can sell for half of traditional housing costs their main market will be building houses on the moon.

The builder cares. The buyer doesn't care too much either way what the construction technique is. They will be sold on the high insulation value, tornado resistance and so on. Not the fact that it costs less to build which is opaque anyway.
